"I saw him gliding across the tops of zeppelins that night, an iron shadow with gnashing gears and scalloped wings of copper." ---Gothaven City Resident

As promised I'm expanding my DC Steampunk line with more characters and the Brass Knight himself, Steampunk Batman is up next. The story is set in an alternate timeline within the city of Gothaven with the Joker leading the clockwork soldiers from Clownstein Castle.

This custom Steampunk Batman was created from a Marvel legends Steve Rogers upper body, DC Direct Batman head, and Marvel Legends Punisher lower legs. All the armor/goggle/detail was hand-sculpted with Aves Studio's Apoxie Sculpt and real leather straps were used. The clockwork wingpack was created from fodder parts including two dark blue wing sections from some other Batman toy and cabled throttle controls. His grappling gun was made from a Gears of War Locust gun. Real metal gears and brass fixings were also used to bring this Steampunk Batman figure to life. I have Steampunk versions of Robin, Joker, and Bane planned along with other DC Universe characters like Green Lantern and Darkseid so stay tuned!

WOW! I mean WOW! I think this is the most incredible action figure custom I've every seen (and I've been looking at a lot of them lately, trying to figure out how to make my own) The detail on this is just incredible with all those little gears and tiny things to paint. The goggles are just wonderful! The entire concept of a steampunk superhero line is so much fun! And you've executed it perfectly! I hope mine ends up looking this good!

These steampunk customs are great to see, they really show off your creativity. As much as I love your other customs that are faithful to a specific character it's these thinking-outside-of-the-box figures that really inspire.
